bigbox resets randomly

so ive noticed that the odd time my bigbox will just reset itself, like it was turned off and back on immediately. this never happens while it is printing. sometimes it happens while im doing a homing command, or individually moving axis, or just scrolling through the LCD screen...

This is normal, initiating serial connections resets the board. Though there are circumstances where it does not, if you just disconnect Octorpint and then reconnect the board is not reset. But a first connect after power on will always reset...

The Ethernet cable goes into the Pi. The Pi starts with or without the cable and if OctoPrint is set up to connect to the box on startup then the reset is plausible. 20 seconds sound also reasonable for OctoPrint to start.
Check the connection settings in OctoPrint and disable the option to connect to the printer on start...

Sorry @lance people hijacked your thread...
I have no idea what your problem could be, any cable running right above the reset button on the board so it is pushed accidentally?
You got the RUMBA connected with USB to something?Pi or computer? If it is a computer check that this does not connect to the RUMBA automatically...
